Restaurants near Civic Center of Greater Des Moines

Delicious food, excellent service and staff, and a beautiful atmosphere. My only wish is that there were more dessert options with less nut ingredients (for those who can’t have them; this made the dessert menu very limited). But the appetizers, dinner, drinks, environment, and superb customer service still made the dining experience 5 stars!

Food was excellent. Appreciated that we were offered smaller portions (at a reduced price). Friendly and knowledgeable staff. Made every effort to assure us a pleasant dining experience. Definitely recommend for a special night out.

We enjoyed the upscale ambience of the new stuffed olive. The food is as good as ever and the service excellent. It’s quiet so you can talk without any difficulty. I like all the different seating choices. 

Great food and service as usual! Danny served us well.

EVERYTHING was delicious, fresh, excellent presentations, perfect timing between courses❣️ Dipping Crab, Tuna Tower, Godzilla Bomb, Everything Smoked Salmon. Our waiter Tristan's favorite Amazon Roll is now one of our favorites too❣️. Thank you Open Table for recommending Blue Sushi Sake Grill when we arrived in Des Moines.
